Hello Auldeane!
This is probably of little use. There are so many CATES lines in Texas,
however something in your post caught my eye and I found it curious. My
CATES ancestor, John Richard CATES, Sr. was b. 1839 "Somewhere in TN", d.
27 May 1882 in Jacksboro, Jacks Co., TX. He is our CATES brick wall. He m.
Amanda "Mandy" Adaline Richards b. 31 July 1844 in Mississippi. She and her
father's family (William S. Richards and Sary E.//, are listed in the 1850
Shelby Co., TX Census. John and Mandy m. 24 May 1866 in Jacksboro, Jacks
Co., TX.. She died, 23 November 1931 in Goldsby, Cleveland-McClain Co., OK.
The Thing I find interesting is John Richard CATES, Jr. b. 2 September 1879,
in Childress, TX, was m. to Mattie Lucinda POSEY my grt. gm who had a
brother "John Wesley" POSEY. There is quite a time gap but I found it
interesting. I am wondering if an earlier branch of the same family of CATES
moved to Jacks Co. first? John Wesley was such a common primary and
secondary name.Thanks for your time.

Hi Charlie,
i mjet a Mary Brunk in College Springs Iowa about 10 years ago. She was
in,
her 80's and her line was John Wesley Cates.He is buried
there.I don't know his wife name.
This is what she told me. John was only 13 yrs old when his mother &
father
both died from smallpox epidemic early 1800 in Jacks Co Texas.
Hope this helps instead of confuses.
Sincerely Auldeane Cates if I can find that info again. I will send it.
